Ashley Lopez, Internet Marketing Coordinator for Access Ford Ltd., is the fourth recipient out of twelve to receive the scholarship that will send her to AutoCon 2012. Matt Tucker, E-Commerce Director of Bommarito Automotive Group, Katia King, BDC Director for Pat O’Brien Chevrolet, and Sean Rancier, Internet & IT Director for Bill Rapp Superstore, are also scholarship recipients. Eight more scholarships are yet to be awarded.

Here is a portion of Ashley’s scholarship application:

“I absolutely loved my experience at the Automotive Boot Camp hosted by First Class Educators...I came back to work with so much more knowledge and excitement...it was wonderful to be among my peers and to know that I wasn't alone---that all over the US there are people in the automotive industry dealing with the same issues and questions I had. I, also, am yearning for more! I know our dealership has the potential and we have the support of our Dealer Principal to take Access Ford to the next level...to be on top of our marketing strategies and show our customers that Access Ford makes the car buying experience an easy one. I've been following the updates of AutoCon and I am really excited for the different workshops and hands on experience. I would love to sit in on the Diversity Marketing workshop, Consolidating Strategies, and What Influences Customer Loyalty to just name a few as well as listen in on what the keynote speakers have to say. I feel like I can't get enough of Brian Pasch's webinars and workshops, he tells us exactly how the industry works, keeps us updated of what is going on in the business world and doesn't miss a step---I came away with so many notes from his sessions and have been actively practicing his tips, I am sure there will be even more information coming my way if I attend AutoCon2012.”

TrueCar® is happy to give Ashley the opportunity to attend AutoCon 2012.
